- Solo play for Warcry is not new, it first appeared in the Tome of Champions 2023 with the Rat Hunters campaign. In this video I have a look at the mechanics from that book then I take a tour through some of the other skirmish games that have solo mechanics. At the end I pull together some of the ideas and incorporate them into a new set of solo play rules for Warcry.

Love the Idea! Been trying it out for the last few weeks, I have tried a few others like Lonesome Road and Ravaging Mobs which are both great fun as well, I like the card deck Idea it seems to help the game move along without having to make additional rolls or consult charts as much can't wait to see how it develops. Thanks!
All needed rules for solo play, that you can apply to any warbands are in Tome of Champion 2020...there are also some specific campaigns with specific rules and armies in that tome, but with the general rules found in that tome, you can play almost any campaign with a good part of all battleplan cards available.
Yeah i really want Warcry to get some coop / solo content officially.....Like a sort of Warcry blended with Warhammer quest type thing.
Dude, it always had official coop/solo content, it was in Tome of Champion 2020.....too bad the vid is getting rules (worse rules) found in a campaign of Tome of Champion 2021.
Can't wait to try this! I've dabbled with @2tough's old Lonesome Road thing and various other solo wargames (and written my own for Underworlds). It's always nice to push some models around when you can't get with the lads.
I love this idea, curious about the cards already. If you want more options then your standard deck ... Check the 120 cards Everdeck idea.
Saved to follow updates on this. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great, i like your ideas how to optimize Warcry. I wanna play Warcry in coop with my 7yo daughter, caus she wants to adventure with her dad. We will try out your rules and let you know, how we like it.
Questiion: How do AI-Enemies behave in Objektive Mission? When playing with your rules they would leave mostly every objective. Is there a soultion to this or intented that they just go for killing things?
I´d like to see more of that solo / coop wary content of you. A real campaign with 4-6 Scenarios and some level ups and XP-rewards would be awesome! Already got some Ideas or Plans (exept from your Vermintide/darktide Videos)? go on, I like your content!
You're right about the objective and treasure missions being a bit tricky. In the Frostgrave / Stargrave systems Joseph A McCullough uses a 'target point ' for some missions. So if an enemy fighter isn't able to immediately attack a player fighter, then they move towards the 'target point'. For objective missions we could make the objectives points of interest, then add a clause that they won't leave an objective, and that they'll only move towards objectives the AI doesn't already control. You could do similar with Treasure but add the clause that when carrying treasure they will move away from the player fighters. One way or another, it's gonna be pretty dumb XD a good play will have clever plays that we can't really predict with a generic AI. We can adjust for this by giving the AI more points (like I've done with Vermintide).
As for future plans, more immediately I do want to get a second Vermintide mission out, but that probably won't get a video. I do have the Ulfenkarn (Cursed City) campaign for Warcry which I've started writing up (there's a Patreon post for it) but I haven't fully developed out yet. I would like that to have AI driven scenarios with the Cursed city villians in set battles. That could be fun. This week I'm probably just going to do the monthly review and work out what to do next!
This sounds very cool, I like the idea of a cooperative Warcry campaign. Your video reminds me, I need to take a look at Space Station Zero.
Sadhammer? Yeah, not for me, thank you :D
